FARGO, Jan. 1.-THE committee of the
board of trade this week made an elaborate
and detailed report showing that there is an
emergency-only to be met by Il larger and
more complete hotel than the city now has
that capital and men seeking locations were
repealed and the place was losing the benefit
of forty-five transents per day. The prefer
ence was given the old Continental site, but
Mayor Scott, of the Headquarters, had Sc
cured a central lot in the block and refused
to Sell--holding it simply tn defeat the cree
ton of another hotel. He will hardly be
elected mayor again this spring, and it will be
seen if the board of trade can be baffled by
one man.. The estranged elements of the
fire department have smoked the pipe of
peace-fragrant Havanas the papers call
them-and it seems about setted that
place, and the city will have no
complaints of lack of efficiency among the
fire boys-and the anserine will hang high
which suggests that domestic poultry is at
discount since family was poisoned and one
died from eating a single chicken selected
from the stock in market. The pastor of
one of the city churches combines patriotism
and theology. He had a bouncing son born
on July 4, 1SS5, and an equally blooming
daughter on Christmas day, 1886. :. Sheriff
Benton made his first trip to the Bismarck
penitentiary Thursday, taking Hemingway and

newspaper man, was elected deacon. and did
not exhaust the material for such on the city
press. Only forty-one city licenses have

DAKOTA LAND oFFICEs.

Of the twenty public land offices in Da-
kota twelve have been changed and eight
remain to be filled by Democrats. Of these
eight, but one can be considered vacancy.
and that is the receivership at Deadwood.
JAMES P. LUSE, the register thele, was
appointed in October, 1882, by President
ARTHUR, and when congress met he was
reappointed on the 18th of December. Ac-
cordingly his tenn expired last month. Mr.
LUsE is sauare-tOed Republican and
rendered his resignation promptly after
CLEvELAND's Inauguration, but no ac-
ceptance was made of it because heis an eX-
cellent official and there was no desire on
Gen. SPARKS part to have his place filled
by any one else. The seven offices still re-
naming in the hands of the Republicans
are the receivership at Fargo, the register
ship at Bismarck. the regstership at Devils
Lake, both register and receiver at
Grand Forks and the same at
Mitchell Register REA, at Bismarck,
is an excellent official, and it is said that
Gen. SPARKS has no disposition to accede
to his retirement from the Office. His
term will not expire until July, 1888, and,
unless he insists on getting out, he will
probably not be disturbed. The term OF
Register TIFFANY, at Grand Forks, eX-
pires Feb. ,2s, 1888, and that of Mr.. AN
DERsoN, the receiver at Grand Forks, ex-
pires the 9TH of April, 1888. In all proba-
bility both of these gentlemen will be sue
seeded by Democrats before long. The
regstership at Devils Lake becomes vacant
on the 18th of February, 1888, and there
will probably be change there.

DAKOTANS IN ST. PAUL.

Make a Few Remarks in
Passing.
Marshal Maratta Asserts That He Has No
Intention of Resigning His
Office.
How Denny Hannatin. the Bismarck
Character, Conducts a Temper

terest to the Good People of the
Big Territory.

Among other Dakotians registered at the
Merchants yesterday were United States
Marshal D. W. Maratta, United States Dis
trict Attorney John E. Garland and Judge
William H. Becker. candidate for appoint
ment as attorney general to succeed Engle.
In speaking of the rumor to the effect that
he is seeking appointment as territorial
auditor, Capt. Maratta pronounced the re-
port false in every particular.
Il would be foolish" said he, ''to give up
the office now hold under the government
for the authorship, any other territorial
office. My present position pays me we'll
enough, and l am so well satisfied that I will
not seek appointing Mt under Gov. Church.
And all this talk III the newspapers about
Commodore Couson, of Yankton, being in
the field for appointment rs treasurer under
the new executive is utterly untrue
and nonsensical. Coulsou does not want any
office. He is well fixed financially and too
fond of quiet life to enter actively into poll
tics. But he is man of sterling worth, just
the same, and there is no Office in the terri
tory which he is not competent to fll-not
even excepting the governorShip. I have not
been to Bismarck this winter, and don't eX-
pect TO go there. l am now on my way to at
tend a session of the United States court
POSSIBLE SLATE.
'The slate will be Day for auditor, Maratta
for treasurer and myself for attorney gen.
| eral." said Judge Becker in reply TO an inter
rogative put to him by the GLOBE reporter
relative to the men who would be appointed
to fill the three most important offices at the
| disposal of the governor. But the judge con-
| t1nLei: ''Oh, don't put that down. l was
merely joking. Day deserves something, 1
think, and will probably get it. but whether
| IN the shape OF an appointment by the COVER
nor, or to a land office by the president, is
uncertain. / don't think Maratta is after the
authorship, as he has good Office now"
Judge Becker was quiet as to his own
candidacy and would neither confirm OF
deny the rrmor that he longs to fill the of
fetal shoes of Attorney General Engle.
Attorney Garland, as usual, was exceed
ingly reticent on the subject of politics, and
protested ignorance of everything connected
with political matters in the territory. Like
Capt. Maratta, he is EN- route to Deadwood,
where he will represent the government at
the approaching session of the United
! States court.

4 Noticeable Let,ing pown.

jamestown Capital.
There is such noticeable letting down in
the tone and dignity of the Dakota depart
ment of the Pioneer Press of last Saturday
that one would hardly recognize it as the pro-
duct of Gov. Pierce, and we are lead to be-
lieve that in the rush of preparation for the
meeting of the legislature the governor en-
trusted his editorial work to a clerk and sent
the copy to the publisher without revision.
The disparaging personal reference TO Con-
gresham Springer is so unbecoming the abil-
ity and dignity of the governor that the Capt.
tai is disposed to question the authorship of
the editorial article. The editorial may have
been smuggled into the Office by some one OF
the South Dakota statehood fre-eaters. as it
is imbued with the spirit that has predomi-
mated in that section for several years under
the leadership OF the agitator and kicker,
Campbell.

The Dakota Insane,

Dakota papers are discussing the necessity
of immediate increase of facilities for the
care of the insane of the territory. The asy-
lum for the insane at Yankton is represented
as being already overcrowded, so that it is
impossible to receive patients eX-
cept as inmates are discharged to
make room. 1t is further said that even
now the accommodations are so crowded as to
interfere with the proper treatment of pa
tients. There are, moreover, Il great many
insane confined in jails, wnere, of course,
they cannot be properly treated. The situa-
ton, according to these representations, is u
good deal as it was in Iowa prior to the inaug-
uration of the new asylum ut Clarinda TO adj
ditions to the old asylums. Many Dakota
papers are accordingly calling upon the leg
islature to make liberal appropriation for en-
larging the asylum at Yankton. An appro-
priation for this purpose was refused by the
last territorial legislature, but strong efforts
will be made to secure $4,000 at the ensuing
session.

CAPITAL REMOVAL.

A New York friend of Gov. CHURCH
has inadvertently dropped hint about the
reasons which impel the president to ignore
Dakotians Sc much as he has in the affairs
of the territory The president has been
told that Dakota man, whether Repub-
lican or Democrat, is always ION the make, d"
and that when the Democrats came into
power there was an instant feeling among
the Democrats in Dakota that change of
the capital could be effected under the new
administration provided the officers of the
territory. according TO the Chicago plat
form. shoald be given to Dakota men. This.
Gov. CuURCH's New York friend claims.
is the secret of the determined resistance to
the division of the territory. With Dakota
enormous area intact, Bismarck is not a
central point for the capital, neither
geographically nor according TO popu-
lation or means of transit. He says that if
Dakota can be admitted with its bound
aries untouched, the Democratic majority
in the house would insist upon the selec-
ton of some more central point for cap
ital. Huron has been doomed as the cap
ftal of the proposed state of South Dakota,
but Aberdeen has many points in its favor
as the seat of government, if the territory
is admitted as a whole. The boom in real
estate which could be created at any point
by 4 relocation of the capital is motive
enough for a combined effort in this direc-
ton. \ good many fair-sized fortunes
could be made if the movement succeeded.
The scheme. of course. involves the CO.
operation of the Democrats and few Re
publcans in the territorial legislature.

Among the most notable land eases in the
history of the territory WAS one in Hanson
county, recently determined by Judge Tripp,
in which he ordered the man who held the
patent to deed the land to the contestant upon
payment of costs. In 1873 or 1879 one Duke
ion filed upon the claim without having
established a residence, and went away. In
1880 one Curtis filod on the land. alleging
abandonment by Dukelon. His claim was
regarded as sure. The contest went on, and
was finally decided by the land Office in favor
of West, and the commissioners approved the
findings and ordered Dukelon's entry can
celed This was in 1888. Dukelon came
back and took advantage of the June act of
congress of 1850. He was not allowed Ia

GOV. pHERCE,s MESSAGE.
The Retiring Executive Proves an
EntcrIaing Reader.

Specl3I 10 the GlODe.
BISMARCK, Jan. 14.-Gov. Pierce is an
entertaining reader. and his message as
read by himself Wednesday to the joint
session made much deeper impression on
the legislators than it would have done had
he entrusted its reading to the clerk of the
council. Ted Kingsbury suspected that
he would be called upon to read it, and as
il would take him at least an hour and a
half he hid himself in conlmittee-room TO
escape the thankless job, but Teddy was
not called upon. The governor was EVIL
IDENTITY proud of an opportunity to address
such a body of intelligent men. and he did
it effectively. The governors long expert
ence as newspaper man enabled him to
hang his message on wires of harmony, and
when he pulled off the different sections
and diSSected them before the eyes and
ears of his hearers they came to
pieces in regular order and with
out hitch or unpleasant jar.
He was one hour and fifteen minutes read
ing it. but there was not an expression of
WEAKNESS on the face of single represent
tative or councilman. The attention they
paid to the speaker and the signs of APP
prevail that they gave his suggestions were
proofs enough that they were listening to a
man in whom they had the greatest conf
dence, whose ideas they respected, whose
opinions they honored. AS that portion OF
the message was read relating to the terri
tory and the seemingly hopeless struggle ii
was making to get
INTO THE UNION,
the faces of his hearers flushed, and when
he advised manly perseverance and patience
and cool, calm deliberation in all theiI
movements the nall rang with the applause
that drowned the voice of the speaker, and
as the end drew near, and tine governor
spoke of his administration, his pleasant
! associations with the people, and the APP
proach of the hour when he must give up
! the field in which he had labored so long
and intereStediy, to his successor, his voice

quently wipe their noses. After the diSSo-
luton ofthe joint session, territorial officers,
members of the legislature and citizens
gathered in little knots in the corridors and
commented in words of praise on the mes
sage. They all spoke admiringly of its
clear and comprehensive statements. its i'm
impartial recommendations and its undis
guised loyalty to Dakota and per people
That portion of the message relating to the
railroads and railroad commissioners made
deep impression. The suggestion thai
imaginary or pretended objections on ac-
count of conflicts of opinion in the territory
would be obyiated by submitting the divi
sion question to the people, was unani
mously favored. 1t was a mastery effor
devoid Of big words, ambiguous sentence
and was chock full of good, horse sense.

The Man with the Gripsack.

Grand Forks Herald.
The new judge of the supreme court of
Dakota is not Hill, the devoted friend of
Southern statehood and Northern get-what-
you-can-if-anythirg' s-Ieft. His name is Spen-
Ger, ward politician of New York, genial,
convival fellow, according to the st. Paul
GLOsE, who knows the mysteries of poker,
can drink Jersey lightning and Kentucky
sour mash with any one, and beat even our
Judge Pratt telling stories. This gentleman,
it is rightly gagged, will tackle the
tastes of the average South Dakotans
and be the faithful servant of the ele-
ments who rejoice most at Judge
Church's removal from the bench. The pic
ture drawn of the new carpet-bagger justi-
fies the suspicion that he is almost as good a
lawyer as Cleveland himself, and that he will
do even quite us well as if he had come from
Florida. His influence will be probably
missed in New York at the next election and
it will make no impression on the solid Re-
publican phaianx of Dakota. Of course the
territorial Democracy are dying to coagratu-
late the new gentleman with the gripsack.

A great many people are said to be ready to
cross the Missouri and squat upon the reser-
vation lands as soon as the Dawes bill passes
congress. The experience of the Crow Creek
settlers should suggest that there is danger
in presumlng upon the leniency OF the gov
eminent If the bill passes, at best it would
be six months or more before settlers could
have any rights upon the land, and it is very
doubtful that the required number of the red
Dossessors of that country will give their con-
sent to the requirements of the bill. The
Rapid City JournaLin throwing out caution
ary word, says: 'They should not lose sight
of the provision regarding the necessity of
Securing the signatures of three-fourths of
the male adult Indians to the cession. Such
nroyison may cause no end of trouble and
dificulty. 1t is the opinion of those who are
familiar with the sentiment of the Indians on
this matter that the required number of sigma
tures will not be easily obtained" Still the
massage of the bill is generally desired, that
2 beginning may be made that will lead
eventually TO the opening.

Doesn't Mean Anything Particular.

The Democrats of Dakota were not slow
upon the election of Cleveland to call upon
their Republican neighbors to witness the
change which was to be inaugurated in re-
gard to appointment to territorial offices.
They had long blamed Republican admins
trations for ignoring residents of the terrific
ries in distribution of such patronage and
they did really expect change. But they
have learned that in one respect at least the
administration of President Cleveland resem.
bies the administration OF Republican presi.
dents, and that while the clause regarding
such appointments in the Democratic ma
tional platform makes very interesting read
ing, it doesn't mean anything in particular.
